Osteoporosis | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | US | 2018
A wide array of drugs that are generally effective in reducing the risk of fracture and have a well-tolerated side-effect profile are available for the treatment of osteoporosis. Further, oral bisphosphonates, especially alendronate, dominate first-line treatment, mainly because of their widespread generic availability and physician familiarity. Branded agents—Amgen’s Prolia, Eli Lilly’s Forteo, and Radius Health’s Tymlos—are reserved for use in the later lines of therapy, primarily because of their higher price. Osteoporosis Treatment Algorithm presents insights into the treatment practice of a disease where brands compete for market share in second and later lines of therapy and combination use is minimal.
